the 14th century and later… from Christine de Pizan and the Querelle to Francis I and the Collège de France, Rabelais, Montaigne, and a second dream vision: that of educational utopias…
and parallels earlier, later, and elsewhere outside Europe…

other alternatives:
—other utopian dream-visions: Machaut, Froissart, Piers Plowman, Christine de Pizan, More, Rabelais, Montaigne
—early 16th c. imaginary utopian educations: we saw examples from the fictions of François Rabelais (extracts from Pantagruel and Gargantua) and Thomas More (Utopia); placing these two writers in a context and literary & intellectual (ideas) continuum of which the Roman de la Rose is a key part

examples of what Old French verse looks and sounds like, feat. truffles et fanffelues (l. 20356)

what’s the point of it all?
—Mirrors of Princes; thinking and rethinking education; comparative gardens and mirrors in the Roman de la Rose; reading and rereading (and wary care and scepticism) in the Roman de la Rose
—authorial retractions and satire: what is your judgement, as good readers?
(This is a genuine open question.)
